No need in a daily driver. You really only need them with HUGE spring pressures since it puts a load on the camshaft itself, which then in turn puts a negative rotational force (not sure if I'm saying that correctly) on the camshaft. With the bevel cut gears, the cam wants to "walk" out of it's place and put extra side loads on the bearing faces.
With that said, straight cut gears are noisy and people will think you have a S/C on your "tractor motor" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) If you don't mind the sound (I do) go 'fer it. But, no real reason to. Tom |
